The document describes a feed-forward loop (FFL) network motif. An FFL consists of two input transcription factors where one regulates the other and they jointly regulate a third gene. FFLs can have coherent or incoherent logic and either AND or OR logic. The document then discusses the structure and functions of FFLs, including how they can filter signals and respond to persistent stimuli. It also describes developing a database of FFLs to analyze regulatory networks.
